What Is EDU-STEM?
Equity and Diversity in Undergraduate STEM
The EDU-STEM network coordinates teaching and research through evidence-based classroom experiences across the biology curriculum. The four objectives are:
Reveal differences, if they exist, in the cultural climate for women and minorities in STEM disciplines (initially focusing on biology) as a function of geography, institution type, and cultural profile of the participating departments;
Increase the number of faculty in the United States that are familiar with barriers to inclusion in STEM, and can apply evidence-based techniques for countering known barriers;
Develop a community of faculty that can serve as leaders—at their home institutions and nationally—in inclusive teaching and assessment;
Identify cultural factors associated with a shift towards evidence-based teaching, especially pertaining to inclusive teaching.
These activities will be integrated throughout thousands of students’ first and second years of higher education, and all of them involve evidence- based techniques and experiences.
